Questions: How does the number of species in a community affect the level of genetic diversity of its constituent species? What is the relation between competitive interactions and the spatial distribution of genetic variation? When spatially structured, how is the genetic differentiation among subpopulations affected by competition and size of the community? Model features and key assumptions: A
A major bottleneck in high-throughput protein production is the validation step, which is why parallel and automated sample processing methods are highly desirable. Also, a miniaturized sample preparation format is preferred, as the reduction of reagent volumes significantly decreases the analysis cost per sample. We have developed an automated and miniaturized protein sequence verification protoc
A gene encoding a lipolytic enzyme amplified from the alkaliphilic bacterium Bacillus halodurans LBB2 was cloned into the pPICZ alpha B vector and integrated into the genome of the protease deficient yeast strain Pichia pastoris SMD1168H. This previously undescribed enzyme was produced in active form, and cloning in frame with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae secretion signal (alpha-factor) enabled ex
This thesis assess three different conditional variance models from the GARCH family - GARCH(1,1), EGARCH(1,1) and GJR-GARCH(1,1) - and their accuracy in making one-day forecasts together with Value at Risk. The study is made on the daily returns of the OMX Stockholm 30 index between 2002-01-01 and 2010- 12-31. A five year in-sample set was used to estimate the model parameters and to make one-day
In 1994 the Swedish Construction Code, BKR, was changed from being based on material to being based on function. This permitted constructing multi-storey buildings with a bearing framework made of wood, which had been prohibited since the end of the 19th century. There is now a growing in- terest of using wood as a construction material. In Växjö four seven-storey buildings, Limnologen, are under
With the increasing global awareness about the impacts of climate change on the built environments, the need for improving the climate resilience of buildings is being more acknowledged. Despite the high number of relevant studies, there is a lack of frameworks to assess the resiliency of buildings and urban areas. This study presents a multi-objective framework to optimize the form of buildings a
A 27-47-GHz differential cascode power amplifier for millimeter-wave 5G new radio applications is presented. The PA is a three-stage design using inductively coupled impedance transformers with 31-dB nominal power gain. A device periphery ratio of 1:2:6 is adopted for predriver, driver, and final stage, respectively. A gain equalization technique was used in the interstage transformers to obtain t
Research Question/Issue: On the basis of a dynamic interrelation between the assumptions of agency theory and stewardship theory, this study seeks to make sense of disobedience at the highest corporate level. Departing from a processual view in order to better understand how loyalty plays a critical role in the relationships between a CEO and his/her principal, we propose a conceptualization of th
This master thesis is performed in collaboration with Orkla Foods Sweden AB. The aim with this study is to investigate and compare nutritional contents in processed and homemade foods by investigating three selected ready meal products from the product range of Orkla Foods; meatballs, potato mash and pasta bolognese. This originates in a general perception that foods produced in a large-scale indu
There has been an increasing interest in wastewater treatment in last decades to reduce human footprint. Primarily, anaerobic technology focused on treatment and stabilization of sludge, but now the tendency is to give it a major role in low cost treatment of high/low strength wastewaters, since anaerobic digestion offers energy generation through gas production. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (A
‘Responsibility begins from the acknowledgement that we are all part of the world. And that we cannot distance ourselves from it or assume a stance of innocence in our relationship with others’ (Bozalek & Zembylas 2017, 68).In this paper I will discuss the ethical dilemmas of listening through and with costume and the ambiguity of temporal and spatial collaborative entanglements. As a costume
DNA is presently at the centre of a storm. On the one hand, the breathtaking development of DNA related sciences during the last decades led to a technological and medical revolution. Due to the far reaching possibilities connected to this technology, it is the focus of many people’s interest and one source of the hope that one day we will find cures for terrible illnesses. Unsurprisingly, DNA re
In order to stimulate benchmarking and comparisons between different municipal activities, the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) and the Ministry of Finance in the year of 2007 initiated a voluntary nationwide Swedish benchmarking project (NBP) in order to develop new measures that capture the relationship between cost and quality. The ambition is that the new measures s
Microbicides in the leather industries are employed to avoid the biodeterioration of the hides by microorganisms. This problem may lead to harmful characteristics to the end product such as stains, roughness and decrease mechanical properties of leather. Therefore, microbicides like the 2-(thiocyanomethylthio) benzothiazole (TMCTB) are applied in distinct steps of the tanning process as alternativ
Genom det statliga maktmonopolet har svensk polis tilldelats vissa våldsbefogenheter för att kunna upprätthålla allmän ordning och säkerhet samt förebygga och förhindra brott. Polisens rätt att bruka våld regleras delvis i 10 § polislagen och delvis i de allmänna ansvarsfrihetsgrunderna i 24 kap brottsbalken. Senaste åren har frågan om polisens våldsbefogenheter aktualiserats allt mer i takt med e
Arbetets syfte är att utforska begreppen klimatanpassning, risk och resiliens i förhållande till havsnära stadsutvecklingsprojekt, samt hur planerare och andra kommunala tjänstemän förhåller sig till dessa. För att erhålla en förståelse om det, utfördes en fallstudie av Oceanhamnen i Helsingborg såväl som fem semi-strukturerade intervjuer med planerare och andra kommunala tjänstemän, som har på olThe aim of this paper is to gain an understanding of the concepts of climate adaptation, risk and resilience in relation to coastal and waterfront development, as well as how planners and other municipal officials approach these matters. To gain an understanding of this, a case study was conducted on the new waterfront development called Oceanhamnen in Helsingborg. Furthermore, five semi-structure
Var och en som anklagas för brott ska enligt Europakonventionen tillförsäkras rätten till en rättvis rättegång samt rätten att betraktas som oskyldig fram till dess att motsatsen bevisats. Genom denna oskyldighetspresumtion ska den tilltalade i en brottmålsrättegång inte behöva bevisa sig fri och har därför även rätten att vara tyst. Som en konsekvens av oskyldighetspresumtionen är det därför åklaAccording to the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, everyone accused of a crime must be guaranteed the right to a fair trial and the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Due to the presumption of innocence, the accused in a criminal trial should not have to prove his or her innocence and therefore also has the right to remain silent. As a
I Sverige kom det första undantaget från turordningsreglerna 1994 med syftet att upprätthålla balansen mellan arbetstagarnas trygghet och verksamheternas behov av flexibilitet. Sedan 2001 är undantaget i turordningsreglerna begränsat till två personer och gäller för företag med högst tio anställda. År 2020 är tvåundantaget återigen uppe för diskussion om ändring i och med betänkandet SOU 2020:30, In Sweden the first exception concerning turn rules was accepted in 1994 with the purpose to maintain the balance between employment protection and the companies need for flexibility. Since 2001 the exception concerning turn rules is limited to two employees for organisations with at most ten employees. In the year of 2020 the exception within the turn rules is up for discussion once again hence t
The 21st century has brought significant changes to the market. The ability to deliver the right product at the right time with the right price is no longer just crucial for a company’s competitive success, in the long-term perspective it will decide if the company will survive on the market at all. A warehouse has a major impact on a firm’s service levels, response times and overall cost. To meet
